For the following exercises, consider this scenario: For each year t, the population of a forest of trees is represented by the function A(t) = 115(1.025)'. In a neighboring forest, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function B(t) = 82(1.029)'. (Round answers to the nearest whole number.) 12. Assuming the population growth models continue to represent the growth of the forests, which forest will have a greater number of trees after 100 years? By how many?

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: For each year t, the population of a forest of trees is represented by the function
A(t) = 115(1.025)'. In a neighboring forest, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function
B(t) = 82(1.029). (Round answers to the nearest whole number.)
12. Assuming the population growth models continue to represent the growth of the forests, which forest will have a greater
number of trees after 100 years? By how many?

Expert Solution
Step 1

For this type of problem just substitute t=100 years to get the forest that will have greater number of trees. Substitute t=100 in the function A(t) and B(t) and get the answer.
